Questions raised for safety plans

But there are questions over what it could mean for plans to make the road safer.

Main Roads is investigating options to improve safety on a section of the road between Yallingup and Rainbow Cave Road.

Between 2013 and 2017 there were 14 crashes on Caves Road.

One crash, in 2015, claimed the life of a 53-year-old Margaret River man.

In a statement, a Main Roads spokesman said its plan for Caves Road was yet to be determined.

"The proposed improvements are still in the early stages, and Main Roads is currently working with the community to look at options," he said.

"Main Roads has stated it is imperative that the aesthetics and character of Caves Road are recognised and maintained given its importance as a tourist drive.

"Main Roads would need to seek advice from the State Heritage Council with regards to its heritage assessment, before the impact can be considered."

Ms Arnold said while the council was working with Main Roads, heritage listing may impact upon the department's plan.

"It would depend on whether or not the Heritage Council assessed that the work would in some way impinge negatively on the values identified in the listing," she said.

"Were the heritage council to recommend to the minister that he put Caves Road on the register, then Main Roads would be required with any application to proceed with those works to demonstrate that there wouldn't be a negative impact on the values that are identified in the statement of significance."

Since the airing of the gut-wrenching documentary Leaving Neverland, many of us have wrestled with an uncomfortable, yet essential question: given everything we know, can we continue listening to Michael Jackson's music?
